    hmm could be hardware, did you try sticking a pin in that little hole to see if it opens? then close it and push eject to open and close and see if it works.

    Take off the face plate and get some pressured air and try cleaning it. if it hasn't been used much then it may be clogged up with dust and other elements.
    I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

    disconnect the IDE cable and try to open it manually, if the problem persists then replace the drive. If not, it is most likely in windows, probably low on reosources.
